Holy Crap Batman, The Vacuum Tank flange on the bottom...

[nyrussell]

Okay, while pulling the sealand hose from one of my vacuum tanks the flange on the bottom broke. Is there a way to pull the rest of the PVC flange from the tank?

I am pulling the whole area anyways so removing the tank wont be horrendous

I ran all new sanitation hoses on my boat about 5 years ago. I had to cut 2 access openings in order to remove the original hose clamps. One was in the shower, under the seat, and another under the head sink. Since we have the same boat you will also need to do this. All the other clamps were access able.
If you broke the PVC flange, it's possible you could use the solvent to repair it, if you have all the pieces. Ron

Ron, The flange did not break "nice... Part of the flange is outside the 90 turn and part came off with the flange... So I need to debond the flange from the 90 turn or replce the 90 turn and the flange. Tomorrow I will look again.

Here is a pic of the cleanup
